I'll admit it, I fell in love with IKEA when they opened a store in Orlando. However, walking into such a huge warehouse, I always got the creeping idea that the environmental impact was high. Enter sustainability. ›
Airplot! Like the branding of this green endeavor. ›
Damian Aquiles, Constructing My Silence. ›
The joy of not being sold anything. It doesn't happen often. ›
An evolution of Super Bowl logos. Pretty fascinating. Almost a history lesson in American trends and graphic design tools' evolution (from pen to computer). ›

The Spice Outfit. Brilliant idea for a collection of meat rubs and spices. ›
Mikel Uribetxeberria's Animalia, or animals in urban settings. ›
Razor blade boxes; yet another gallery to add to the "I never knew that was cool" list. One, two, and three galleries to boot. [speakup] ›
A Thousand Words. By Ted Chung. So many opportunities to connect. What if you took just one? Anyone know the music? ›
I am very inspired by 21-19. Time to roll up the sleeves. ›
El Banco Deuno, identity for Mexico's leading bank for middle income families. Or so they claim. Quite approachable. ›
Eno Henze does amazing generative art. His large scales are amazing. ›
Fine typography out of Mucca, I tell ya. ›
